Moose In The Majors

October 10, 1986|By Bob Fowler of the Sentinel Staff

MOOSE STUBING, the California third-base coach who didn't give Bobby Grich a hand signal in Game 2 and became a center of controversy when Grich was picked off rounding the bag, had a brief major-league career. He batted five times, struck out four and grounded out to the pitcher. Mauch had said about the playoffs, ''I would rather win than eat when I'm hungry.'' Well, as reporters gathered around Stubing in the clubhouse to discuss his part in the Game 2 fiasco, he answered questions while downing several pieces of pizza. Thus, he showed he would rather eat when he's hungry than win.
